Duct tape would be a new charged tool that allows the player improvise some items from other items at his or her disposal. Some of the recipes below should allow the player to offset a malicious RNG or to access an item of comparable value and/or use. Some are more for fun. Some are rather useless, but hey, we have wands of nothing!

Tourists may sometimes start with a duct tape.

Use

Duct tape can be applied like any other tool.

It prompts to select two items either in the player's inventory, or under his or her feet. Using these two items, a new item is then crafted. This takes between 50 and 500 turns, decreased by high Dex, but the player always gives up after 200 turns. If the two items selected cannot be combined, the crafting always fails and the items are not used up. The BUC of the resulting item is a combination of the component items. Both successful and failed use of duct tape uses charges.

If some of the recipes are considered too powerful to be accessed freely, a blueprint scroll may be required to learn the recipe. For example, a blueprint of magic lamp (unidentified same as any other scroll) would allow the player to craft a magic lamp using the recipe below, but without reading it, combining the two items would fail with no effect. Alternatively, more powerful recipes may require more charges from the duct tape.

Some of the recipes are not entirely realistic. A wizard did it, apparently.
